With Baudrillard I learned that he questions the idea of real. To have the real you must have the imaginary. Memento comes into this by talking about truth and how it is subjected to perception (postmodern thought and memory. History is constituted through memory. Historical objectivity is problematic. In addition to Memento we learned that reality must be defined in the imaginative so we can perceive the opposite.
Postmodern- We need to keep our minds open in text with the image there would be lack of existence
As For Zizek we learned that he was the most prolific theorist.
Some important quotes:
On todays market we find a whole series of products deprived of their malignant properties. (231)
-coffee without caffeine, cream without fat, beer without alcohol
-This is related to Baudrillards notion
The 'terrorists' themselves did not do it primarily to provoke real material damage, but for the spectacular effect of it. (231)
-ex) blockbuster film comes out late may or in mid dec/Jan. The spectacular makes an effect.
Eco
The U.S. is filled with cities that imitate a city. (200)
-related: Bauldrilled, and Jencks
-urbane urbanism
-Ex) Baldwin Park- Cherry picking from other cities
-Pleasantville style
-Truman show style
